Pain Relief

Does Acupuncture Help Reduce Pain?

In the expert hands of an acupuncturist, a set of tiny needles can bring you extraordinary relief, restoring the energy flow through your meridians. Acupuncture works on your body’s signaling systems, primarily the nervous system to bring you back into balance and comfort with an unrestricted flow of energy.

There have been numerous studies that have shown that acupuncture can help to ease, chronic low back pain, neck pain, osteoarthritic knee pain, and even migraine and tension headaches (Acupuncture in Depth, 2017).

It is estimated that 80% of Americans suffer from low back pain. With growing numbers of people experiencing pain and an opioid drug epidemic, it is important to have effective treatment options.

Acupuncture is thought to help reduce pain by:
Releases beta-endorphins which work as the bodies own opioids and lower pain thresholds
Changes cells in connective tissue helping to ease pain
Reduces inflammation via vagus nerve activation
Helps brain chemistry and the release of neurotransmitters and neurohormones
Helps to reduce stress and improve mood

Anxiety Relief

How Does Acupuncture Help Anxiety?

Research shows that up to 30% of people worldwide suffer from anxiety. More than ever, we are being faced with a growing epidemic of fear and anxiety around the world. Anxiety is often accompanied by physiological symptoms such as shortness of breath, heart palpitations, panic attacks, headaches, pain, and insomnia.

One of the main measures that are used to show the body’s ability to cope with stress is heart rate variability (HRV). A higher HRV is associated with better health outcomes in all areas.

A healthy heart should be able to change its rate based on a fine-tuned response to the environment (Acupuncture as a Therapeutic, n.d.). Acupuncture has been shown to improve the body’s response to stress by improving HRV.

Benefits of Acupuncture For Anxiety:
Changes in neurotransmitters involved in emotional regulation such as serotonin
Modulation of the autonomic nervous system
Changes in immune function
Release of the body’s natural endorphins
Improvement in HRV

Depression Relief

How Does Acupuncture Help Depression?

There have been numerous studies that have shown that acupuncture works to help reduce depression.

Many studies have shown that acupuncture along with anti-depressants creates greater outcomes than anti-depressants on their own (Acupuncture For Depression, n.d.).

The World Health Organization (WHO) has even recognized acupuncture as an effective treatment for depression. An article was written in Scientific American in 2014 talking about the benefits of acupuncture for depression.

If you’ve been suffering from depression, now is the best time to make a change. The transformative effects of acupuncture can help restore you to the energetic, balanced, and happy person you worried you might never be again.

Benefits of Acupuncture For Depression:
Activates the body’s endogenous pain killers
Works with the HPA axis to down-regulate stress hormones
Has a protective effect against stress hormones
Release of the body’s natural endorphins

Acupuncture And Cancer Care.

Receiving a cancer diagnosis can be scary and overwhelming, but you are not alone. Acupuncture is often used as a complementary care option for patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiation. Research has shown a lot of promise for acupuncture providing relief from troubling symptoms associated with treatment.

Currently, the National Institutes of Health is sponsoring 21 clinical trials evaluating the effectiveness of acupuncture in cancer care. What we know is that patients who received acupuncture along with conventional treatment have not only tolerated their treatment better but also have less troubling side effects.

Let's Work Together

“Without even knowing it Heart Center Transformational Acupuncture has set in motion my own personal journey to come upon a balance I was missing. My visit to Aiden was initiated because of a chronic aching knee. However, his compassion and genuine approach to every visit revealed more; my need to find ways to balance the power of my own energy. It is amazing what this body can do with a bit of guidance! Take the time to meet Aiden. It is like giving yourself a present that you can open up and use every day!”

Alicia Zampitella

“I started going to see Aiden for my shoulder. I went in for my shoulder and left my first visit not feeling some relief of discomfort, but with relief of so many other things emotionally that contributed to how I had been feeling physically otherwise. Though i still see him now for my ankle and knees, in parallel to helping me heal injuries, he has helped me with me. Anywhere from sleep habits, to relaxation, with stress and everyday nuances that take can take a toll He just knows what to do.”

Lety Gaumer

Aiden and his practice have truly changed my life. I know that can sound cliché but it is so true. I initially went to see Aiden in October for chronic pain in my hip and low back, but he has fixed so much more. I have suffered from food sensitivities, allergies, constant stomach pain and bloating my entire life. This is something that I was just used to and figured it would always be a part of my life. Aiden has fixed my gut health and I no longer deal with bloating and pain daily. We worked on so many deep emotional issues that I didn't even realize were affecting my daily life. He has helped me manage my stress and improved my quality of sleep. I am now currently pregnant and Aiden will be helping me throughout my entire pregnancy. I have sent my husband, mom, dad, clients, and many friends to see him now and he has made such a positive difference in each of their lives. I am so grateful to have him in my life and can't recommend him enough!
